Have you ever expected an unfavorable outcome from an experience, yet were shocked with the best? Nashville, Tennessee is the city where I was able to realize that I have the potential to do great things with my life. It was the middle of June at the 2016 HOSA International Leadership Conference, and I was sixteen years old. At this time, I had been dealing with anxiety and depression for so long that I never thought I would be able to make an accomplishment that meant something to others and myself. This trip helped me realize that I am capable of more than I think.

The name of the museum that I chose is The Henry Ford, located on 20900 Oakwood Blvd, Dearborn, MI 48124 The website for the Henry Ford is https://www.thehenryford.org/. Henry Ford museum is well known for automobile and agricultural art exhabits. Henry ford car was first invention of transportation and the museum still holds the example of it to show the visitors how the world is developing.

There are many other exhibits that tells story of the people and life style of 19th century. One that touched my heart is the Rosa Parks bus because she has to go to jail for fighting for her civil

Well the week of our trip to Memphis Tennessee had finally arrived ! My colleagues Beverly,

I saw several cannons that were used during battle. There were some on both sides indicating the Confederate and the Union side. Also, the cemetery, where soldiers, families, and veterans were buried. The cemetery was really big and I did not expect that. I think I saw somewhere at the site, it said there was more than 6,000 soldiers and about 1,000 veterans buried there. The Hazen Brigade Monument was also something that I saw and found interesting. I found this interesting because it said it was the oldest standing and intact monument from the Civil War era. This really impressed me because I did not know that we had something really historic in our state. It is amazing to think that Tennessee has something so precious and valuable on our land. There was a stand that had a little background about it and I read that 113 soldiers were killed and wounded in that

Later in life, I moved south of the Mason-Dixon line to Richmond, Virginia, which was at one time the capital of the Confederacy. Here, I learned an alternate version of history, one of the rights of the states against an oppressive government. What I once knew as the “War On Slavery” was here called the “War Against Northern Aggression.”

The second historical landmark that I went to was the Antietam Battlefield. Located in Sharpsburg, Maryland, the battle of Antietam was a battle between the Union and Confederate armies during the Civil War. The battle was fought on September 17, 1862, being called the “Bloodiest Day of American History” with a total of roughly 23,000 men killed in battle. The Union army, led by General George McClellan, defeated the Confederate Army, led by General Robert E. Lee, which is surprising because while they passed the Potomac River, a piece of paper including the Union’s battle tactics was left behind by one of the Confederate members. The Union then passed by the same spot weeks later and found this paper, which gave them the “advantage”. 5 days

During the break I visited Kennesaw Mountain National Battle Field Park where I learned more about the history of Georgia, more specifically of Kennesaw, Georgia. This site pertained information about the Civil War and the two major battles that occurred in this area, which are the Chickamauga and Ringgold Gap during 1864. The site offered a walk through Museum that was in chronological order that broke down the series of events that lead to war and other mishaps along the way. They also offered a 30 minute video clip describing what happened between the southerners and the confederates and the beginning of the Atlanta Campaign. I enjoyed walking the Museum, looking at the pictures and displays they provided for visitors to look at. I also

This year’s family vacation was one for the books. With my aunt living in Tennessee, we do not get together as often as we would like so my family decided to go to Nashville, Tennessee. When we started our trip, it was 6 a.m. and it was nothing short of fun and laughter along the way. Never having been to Tennessee before, I figured I’d enjoy the eight-hour ride of sight-seeing and laughter with my family. When we were a few miles into the trip, the mountains of Georgia were breathtaking. While I was enjoying the scenery, another thing that I found enjoyable about this trip was the conversation that I had with my family. We went on talking about life in general, all the struggles, and childhood memories that we had. We even talked about years

The lack of supplies and technology and the environment of schools in Goldsboro is a real issue. Kids go to school without the proper tools to succeed like technology, books, positive, clean and updated environments. Not only are some being picked on and bullied, but some aren't getting the proper education needed. Some schools don't have the technology needed to teach kids successfully in this generation. For many in Goldsboro, families just don't have the money. The easiest way to get these things is more awareness. These children go home and don't say a word to their parents so the parents keep quiet and don't make any suggestions. This issue needs more awareness to kick off fundraising and open doors to new opportunities for the to get
